Cardamom Multicolour Vintage Oriental Rug
Large scattered palmettes with a wide charcoal border
Description
Bold, oversized palmettes give this multicolour vintage oriental rug real presence, so it holds its own in a generous living room or dining room. Cardamom scatters them loosely across a slate-grey field washed with striated abrash, letting the colour shift gently as the light moves. A wide charcoal border frames the whole design and gives it a grounded, tailored edge that suits period and modern homes alike.
Because the palmettes are large and loosely spaced, the field feels open rather than busy, while the deep charcoal border reins everything in. Jewel-tone accents look rich against oxblood, ochre or smoky blue walls, with walnut furniture and blackened steel. Choose 200 x 290 cm to sit beneath a three-seater sofa and chairs, 150 x 200 cm for a reading corner, or the 60 x 240 cm runner for a landing.

Care
Vacuum regularly on a low setting; blot spills straight away and spot clean with mild detergent; professional clean when needed.
Tip: use an anti-slip underlay on hard floors. It keeps the rug flat and makes vacuuming easier.
Delivery & returns
Free delivery to UK mainland addresses. Larger rugs are heavy, so it helps to have a second pair of hands on delivery day.
If your rug isn't right, return it unused within 14 days of delivery and we'll cover the return postage. Your refund goes back to your original payment method.

Good to know
Samarkand questions
Are Samarkand rugs old rugs that have been overdyed?
No. Samarkand rugs are new rugs designed to capture the look of vintage overdyed pieces, with slate-grey grounds, striated abrash and softly faded Persian-style and oriental-style patterns. You get the character of an older rug with the choice of practical, modern sizes, including a 60 x 240 cm runner.
What size Samarkand rug do I need for my living room?
For most living rooms, 160 x 230 cm sits comfortably under the front legs of a sofa and armchairs, while 200 x 290 cm anchors a larger seating area or open-plan space. In smaller rooms, 150 x 200 cm or 120 x 170 cm works well in front of a two-seater sofa.
How do I look after a low-pile rug like this, and will it shed?
Vacuum regularly and rotate the rug every few months so it wears evenly. Blot spills straight away with a clean, damp cloth rather than rubbing, and use a professional rug cleaner for anything deeper. Like most new rugs, it may release a few loose fibres at first; this settles with regular vacuuming.
Do I need a rug underlay, and can I use it over underfloor heating?
On hard floors we recommend a good-quality rug underlay to help keep the rug in place and add a little cushioning underfoot. We don't publish an underfloor heating rating for this range, so please check your heating system's guidance on floor coverings before laying any rug over it.
Is delivery free, and can I return my rug?
Yes. Every Samarkand rug comes with free UK mainland delivery, and if the colours or size don't work in your room, you have 14 days to return it with postage paid. It's worth looking at the rug in both daylight and lamplight before deciding.
